I had an amazing experience doing the 3-day open water scuba course with Shai!! He was extremely knowledgeable and encouraging, and I felt confident and safe the whole time. Each day was brilliant, learning and practicing new skills while having some fun at the same time. I couldn’t recommend this experience any more highly!

I can’t recommend Goodtime Adventures enough! From start to finish, everything was smooth, fun, and incredibly well organized. Shoutout to my amazing instructors, Shai and Ana, for making me feel confident, safe, and relaxed underwater. Their positive energy and professionalism made the whole experience even better. And a huge thank you to Beth for taking the most incredible underwater photos! I absolutely love every single shot. Thank you all for such an unforgettable diving experience. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Koh Tao!

On June 29th, I did a refresh dive with Lydia as instructor. It had been quite a while since my last dive, and I thoroughly refreshed the basics, both theory and practice. Lydia is amazing! She is a skilled communicator, has a pleasant voice, knows what she is talking about, and takes her time with you. The two dives were relaxed, and she knows how to avoid the crowds underwater. I felt safe and am entering the water again with full confidence. Thank you! And Bente... thank you for your tips! Regards, Joris

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions about Scuba Diving in Koh Tao

Diving in Koh Tao is popular for its year-round diving conditions, boasting clear waters, vibrant marine life, and stunning dive sites available 365 days a year. Whether you’re a beginner starting with an SSI Open Water Diver course or an experienced diver, diving in Koh Tao offers it all—excellent training sites, famous dive spots, shipwrecks, and pinnacles like Sail Rock. With some of the world’s most affordable and accessible diving packages, Koh Tao remains a must-visit destination for underwater enthusiasts across Southeast Asia.

Any of the dive organisations in the world can give you the Open Water license, and with it you can dive in every dive centre in the world for the rest of your life – an SSI diver can of course dive in a PADI centre or the other way round, for example.

However, with SSI you do get benefits:

Online Learning
While most organisations offer online learning, not all of them offer it free of charge and can end up racking up quite the bill. SSI offers your learning materials for free as part of your course registration and is easy to navigate using the MySSI app. The app is regularly updated and also offers additional free courses like the ´Try Diving´ and the ‘Blue Oceans‘ for you to enhance your scuba diving knowledge.

Recognition Ratings
SSI do things a little differently to other diving agencies, they continue to recognise your advancement in diving whether you are enrolled in a course or not. When you reach certain milestones you will be awarded recognition status. This is why we encourage specialities over the SSI Advanced Adventurer or Advanced Open Water courses. With SSI once you complete 4 speciality courses and 24 dives you will automatically be rewarded with Advanced Open Water recognition status. Taking this route allows you to explore your passions underwater without being restricted to one exploration dive per specialty! Don’t forget we offer discounts on bundles too!

Flexibility
SSI allows its professionals to teach with an 80/20 approach meaning that the instructor can adapt 20% of the course to fit the pace of learning, ensuring a student focused training programme worked around the needs of the students – after all everyone learns at different paces.
